The End of The Internet as We Know It.

The DNS Server that controls the entire internet (Everything with a .com at the end, or .org. Like 4chan.org) was controlled by the United States.

On October 1st, they relinquish control of the DNS protocol to all the foreign bureacracies of the world.

The practical effect on this is that it means other countries besides the United States can take down websites without having to go to the U.S. beforehand, which has had a history of protecting its First Amendment rights.

If the U.N. wants to take down a website for hate speech, they can do so now without any intervention by the U.S. This also means all websites that exist within DNS (this means 4chan.org) must answer to the laws of ALL countries, not just one.

Doesn't matter where in the world your website/server is anymore, you must respect the laws of all countries or be taken down.

Since the U.N. bans hate speech, that's out the window.

Is this the end of 4chan??

No, he's handing them over to ICANN. ICANN does not have to become a vassal of the U.N, and we can easily give them an antitrust exemption without requiring government oversight. It would take only one act of congress.

Under what evidence can you suggest that ICANN would be forced to operate under U.N. oversight? The only argument I have heard suggesting this was a claim made by someone at the Wall Street Journal that they'd lose an antitrust exemption. Thus far, despite public fears being mirrored across multiple media organizations, ICANN has not made any claims that suggest that they would be seeking U.N. oversight. If it comes to be that the deal we have cut them will not come with an antitrust exemption, and they go through a process to seek U.N. oversight, it would nonetheless be possible for congress to intervene and give them an antitrust exemption on the condition that they operate independently, as was the original intention of letting them operate without government oversight.

Hi there! You seem to have made a mistake in your post, etc.

Even if this happened -which it won't, it's not the UN-, it'd be a good thing for an actually international internet.
